Determining System Measurement Uncertainties

Measurement Uncertainty Equations

Measurement Uncertainty Equations
Any measurement result is the vector sum of the actual test device response plus all error
terms. The precise effect of each error term depends on its magnitude and phase
relationship to the actual test device response. When the phase of an error response is not
known, phase is assumed to be worst case (–l80° to +180°).
